The Press: Purity of Thought

The half-million readers of Tokyo's Sun Photo Times were shocked. Stark
on Page One was a photo of a man & woman in an Indiana nudist camp (see
cut).

Tokyo's five-month-old tabloid had a ready explanation for its shocker.
Editor Yoshio Kaneko was just doing his best to teach his readers
Western democratic habits. U.S. nudist camps are noted for purity of
thought, said Sun Photo Times; "wouldn't it be a good idea if the
members of Japan's Diet [which includes 39 women] deliberated . . .
while naked?"
